Mourning Emblems.

Mr.. Beecher's often repeated wish
that there should be no "suits and
trappings of woe" around his bier was
literally carried out. In place of the
heavy Grape on the door there hung a
rich wreath of roses. Plymouth church
was wilderness of flowers while his
body lay in state during the closing
days of last week. At the memorial
service on Sunday the walls of the
building could hardly be seen because
of the flowers, while no shred of cape
was visible from first to last. The
Boston Journal terms it wake. Pos
sibly it was Overdone, Mr.. Beecher
sometimes overdid things himself, but
that doesn't alter the fact that there is
need of reform in this respect. A
contributor to the COngregatiOnalist
goes one step farther and elsewhere
discusses the absurdity of the mourn
ing apparel that fashion Obliges those
who have lost friends to put on. 1t
is commended to the reader.

The Northern Leases.

The supreme court of New Hamp-
shire rendered its decision last week
that the lease of the Northern railroad
to the Boston & Lowell is invalid, be-
cause being for 80 years it was practi-
cally a sale. Three of the seven judges
did not sit, and one of the four who
did dissented. Thus ends one phase
of the railroad war that has been going
on ever since the leases were made
The decision, really made by a minor
ity of the court, is regarded as decid-
eddy strange inasmuch as similar leas-
es have been made repeatedly between
roads all over the country and n SINH
lar one is talked of between the BOs-
ton & Lowell aud Boston g. Maine.
The court is said to hold that lease
is invalid without the consent of every
stakeholder to lease the property.
The New Hampshire leases have
cost the Lowell road some $225, 900
since their execution. The road has
thus far made nothing from the leased
roads, but had them in good shape, as
was thought, for future profit. The
Lowell management has improved eV-
erything on the line and reduced rates.
AS the Rutland Herald puts it, "ev-
cry body has been satisfied except the
railroad politicians and the Concord
road, and even the latter has prosper
ed in consequence of the increased
business developed"
On the announcement of the adverse
decision the rumOr was at once started
that a lease had been effected between
the Boston 81 Maine and Boston s.
Lowell, the former agreeing to fulfil
the latter's contracts and paying it 8
per cent. on its stock. While the feel
ing prevails that some such arrange
ment will be the outcome of the bust
ness nothing authoritative has yet
been announced. Meanwhile it is well
to remember that i'm case of an emer-
gency the entire traffic of Vermont and
the Northern Connecticut valley can
reach Boston down the river and BY
way of Fitchburg, with no difference
in mileage to speak of. So the Con-
cord road doesn't hold the only key to
the siIuation.

THE EARTHQUAKES IN EUROPE.
News From st. JOhnsbury Friends at
Nice.

News From St. JOhnsbury Friends at
Nice.
The recent earthquake disturbances
in Southern France, particularly in the
vicinity of Nice, have given rise to
many inquiries concerning the safety
of Mr.. Charles Fairbanks, whose home
is in that city, and to members of his
family. From private letters to St.
JOhnsbury friends written by Mr.
Fairbanks under date of Feb. 25, the
following extracts are taken:
We have just passed through a
dreadful experience. You will have
read the telegraphic accounts of the
earthquake which has extended
throughout Southern France and Italy,
but it can have given you but slight
idea of the CONSERVATION which has
prevailed among all classes of people.
The shocks were very severe at Nice.
Our four days of carnival had wearied
us all, and we retired at midnight on
Tuesday, hoping for quiet on the NOR
row. But at six o'clock Wednesday
morning we were suddenly awakened
by a heaving, rocking motion, and by
a grinding, cracking sound, as though
the house was being hOisted and shak-
en- from its foundations. We were
naturally thrown into the greatest
alarm, expecting that our huge five
story stone house would certainly
come crashing down upon us. We
were soon out of bed and yet helpless
To get down and out of the house from
our second story before the catastrO-
phe would Overtake us, if such were
to be our doom, was impossible. But
in few seconds-perhaps only 25 or
30, though it seemed much longer, the
motion ceased, and then we set to
work with all speed to get clothing
enough on to start for the garden be-
low.
This was probably the experience
that most people went through, though
there were many houses less firmly
built which were more or less slatter-
ed, and where serious losses and dis
asters occurred. At half past eight
o'clock another but slighter shock was
felt, and then we decided to spend the
day in the open air, as did the entire
population. Fortunately the weather
was fine. We wandered about the
streets till we were exhausted, our APP
petItes were gone and strength also.
As evening drew on the air began to

sible.

character and standing which is unquestiOned, and
some of them have diplomas certificates of honor
and medals of merit from less than seven diff

vice known to the medical and surgical world for

world of medicins has been searched for the most

eases DR.. Royce uses only the purest and most
carefully selected drugs known to the medical
world. Too often the conscientious practitioner
is disappointed IN the effect of his prescriptions
and no benefit accrues to his patient because with
all his knowledge of the case il hand the medicines
fail to do the work, and he blunders looking in
vain for solution of the difficulty while his patient
dies under his hands, or drags life which is
worse than death

feel damp and chilly, and then we be-
gan to doubt whether we could safely
spend the night in the garden as we
had expected to do. BY good luck we
succeeded at last in obtaining leave to
occupy part of a pastry cooks shop
near by. This was low two story
building, and we'll built, and as secure
as any place having roof At 9
o'clock we had our arm chairs carried
in there, as well as pillows and wraps,
and there we made ourselves as com
Portable as was possible, but it was i'm
possible to get much sleep. At l120 a
slight shock was felt, and another
more severe at 2 o'clock, and each
time hundreds of people rushed out of
the houses where they had taken refuge
on the ground floor.
Every body was thoroughly unnerv-
ed from the feeling of insecurity and
uncertainty, but on Thursday as the
shocks became more feeble and less
frequent, greater assurance was felt,
and many returned to their habitatiOns
though many have been rendered
homeless through the unsafe condition
of their houses.
Immense damage in the aggregate
has been done to dwelling houses all
through the affected territory, and
many houses will never be safe to live
in again. Many thousands are leav-
ing for the north, and the hotels are
being speedily emptied. 1t will prove
a great misfortune to all this southern
country, and the effects will be felt for
many years. AS for ourselves we have
made no plans for the future, and
shall wait for new developments. We
are all much shaken by the last 90
hours trial, but are otherwise in usual
health.

LOCAL AND TOWN NEWS
COL. JEWETT'S FUNERAL.
Impressive Services at SwantOn.-Par-
ticulars of His Death.


The funeral services over the re-
mains of the late Col. A. B. Jewett
were held at Swanton Friday. A spe-
cial train of four cars left here at 7
o'clock Friday morning drawn by the
locomotive "Col. Jewett," which was
heavily draped. There were on the
train over 30 members of the masonic
fraternity, about as many more grand
army comrades, besides a number of
railroad men and others that swelled
the number to IS. superintendent
StOwell of the White Mountains and
Vermont divisions of the B. & l.. road
was among the number. Others join
ed the company on the way and over
$50 were taken into SwantOn. Among
| those present from other sections were
Mayor Henry of Burlington, who was
lieutenant colonel of the 10th Vermont
when the deceased was its colonel, and
prominent citizens from Burlington,
Rutland and st. Adams
The Episcopal service was read in
the Congregational church, by the
Rev. Thomas Burgess, rector of st.
Luke's church at st. Adams, assisted
by the Rev. j. III. Babbitt, pastor of
the Congregational church at Swanton,
and by the Rev. E. j. Ranslow of
Wells River, former pastor there.
The church was filled with the friends
of the deceased. The funeral was at
tended with masonic honors, the bodies
represented being Lafayette command
cry of knights Templar of Swanton
and st. Adams, Palestine cOmmandery
of st. JOhnsbury and representatives
of IL or more masonic lodges of the
state. Six posts of the grand army in
the northern part of the state sent
representatives besides Post Chamber
lin. The bearers were Sherman w.
Parkhurst of st. Johnsbury, Major E.
n. BullOr and DIR. d. j. Morrill, of
STANTON, j. A. Fitch and Homer Den
nisOn of Highgate and A. Dunnett and
C.. w. Carr of St. Johnsbury. The
service at the grave was conducted by
Grand Master Marsh o. Perkins of
Windsor.
The particulars of Col. Jewett's
death were thus given by Mrs Jewett
They had left Sanford and were at
Jacksonville, whence they expected to
start for Washington in Il few days,
his health having improved so that he
hoped to return to business in MAY or
June. Three times during the proceed
ing three weeks he had had what the
physician called asthmatic spasms.
Sunday evening he arose from short
sleep on a sofa. Between 9 and 10
o'clock he stood leaning against the
mantel of the fireplace, felt distressed
and asked for medicine and then for
ether, which had been prescribed by
the physician on previous occasions,
and sank to the floor. Mrs. Jewett
and Miss Garfield, who were present,
rushed to his support, got him into
chair and called a physician, but he
was soon dead never speaking another
word. 1t seems evident that heart
trouble was the cause of his death.
Col. Jewett left no will though he |
discussed the matter in the days pre-
ceding his death and laid some plans
to that end the day before.

ANOTHER RAILROAD HORROR.
Terrible Accident on the Providence
Road.


Terrible Accident on the Providence
Road.
A terrible railroad accident occurred
on the West ROxbury and Dedham
branch of the Boston & Providence
railroad at 7.I5 O'clock Monday morn
ing by which between 80 and 40 lost
their lives and over so more injured
The scene of the disaster was at the
Bussey woods bridge, which crosses
South street just midway between the
ROslindale and Forest Hills station.
The details of the affair are as follows
The train left Dedham at o'clock
with the usual complement of passen-
gers, the Majority of whom were bust
ness men and working people going to
their business and work. Additional
passengers were taken on at various
stations SO that as the train pulled out
from R0slindale nearly every seat was
filled. The train comprised an engine,
tender, combined smoker and baggage
car and seven passenger coaches.
Midway between the Roslindale and the
Forest Hills station the track crosses
the highway diagOnally at an attitude
of from 40 to so feet by means of an
iron bridge about 125 feet in length.
AS the train was crossing this bridge,
and when the engine had just reached
the farther abutment, a sudden and
violent jar was felt by those who were
on board. Then came fearful crash,
and the middle car of the train sank
suddenly to the highway below strik-
ing squarely upon it's trucks upon the
highway. The cars following and
nf oil
after it and were piled in a fearful
heap below. The engine, baggage and
two cars crossed the bridge i'm safety,
but were thrown from the rails. The
entire structure of the bridge went
down in the wreck.
Immediately on the falling of the |
train in the street, the shouts and cries |
that arose from the imprisoned passen-
gers were heart rending. The people
of ROslindale living in the vicinity were
made aware of the disaster, and the |
police and fire departments were sum-
mOned to the scene. The appearance |
of the wrecked train was sickening in |
the extreme. Four cars were piled in |
a prOmiscuOus heap in the street, while |
on every hand the cries of the wound
ed and dying were heard, and here and |
O'O WIZ oOO" PsooOHSOiS uOSpoIdCc-
ly attempting to relieve themselves
from the weight of wood and iron that
bore them to the ground. The wreck
was SO complete that no attempt was
made to save any part of the train.
The revised list of the killed and
wounded shows that "a persons were
killed outright or died shortly after
the accident, and lis were more or
less seriously injured. The examina-
ton into the case of the accident is
now in progress. That the bridge
was defective seems assured. A broken
axle or rail seems also to have con-
Lributed to the disaster.
